Yep, that's right. The Doris Day thing (as I understand it) is hard to explain, but - okay. So The Apollo was a traditionally black performance centre where people would get booed off the stage if they weren't amazing. So it basically means that, if Doris Day performed at the Apollo, she'd be humiliated and upset, and similarly - life without love would be like being humiliated in front of crowRAB of people.
